Binance Announces Delisting of 8 Altcoin Spot Trading Pairs

by

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience observing and analyzing the cryptocurrency market, I have grown accustomed to the rollercoaster ride that is altcoin trading. The recent announcement by Binance regarding the delisting of eight altcoin spot trading pairs has once again highlighted the volatile nature of this space.

On Tuesday, Binance announced its intention to stop trading eight altcoin spot pairs. This is the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange making this decision.

On December 10th at 3 AM UTC, this move is an effort by Binance to improve the overall standard of the marketplace.

What Binance Users Need To Do

Binance asserts that it evaluates the performance of its listed trading pairs to maintain a top-tier standard in line with industry norms. By doing so, it regularly updates its list of tokens, eliminating those that fall short of liquidity and volume benchmarks. The exchange argues these steps safeguard users and preserve a premium trading atmosphere.

If a coin or token fails to meet our quality standards or if there are significant changes within the industry, we perform a thorough examination and may remove it from our platform. Our main goal is to offer top-tier services and safeguards for our users while staying agile in response to shifting market conditions,” Binance stated on Tuesday.

In light of the current situation, the world’s leading crypto exchange in terms of trading volume intends to remove these specific spot trading pairings from its platform.

  1. GFT/USDT for Gifto, a pioneering Web3 blockchain solution
  2. IRIS/BTC and IRIS/USDT for IRISnet, a service protocol and cryptocurrency
  3. KEY/USDT for SelfKey, a blockchain-based self-sovereign identity system
  4. OAX/BTC and OAX/USDT for OAX, a crypto exchange platform developed by ANX International.
  5. REN/BTC and REN/USDT for Ren. Ren is an open protocol built to provide interoperability and liquidity between different blockchain platforms.

After trading ends for each trading pair, the system will automatically cancel any outstanding orders that were placed.

“Please note that users will not be able to update their positions during the delisting process, and they are strongly advised to close their positions and/or transfer their assets from Margin Wallets to Spot Wallets prior to the cessation of margin trading at 2024-12-04 06:00 (UTC). Binance will not be responsible for any potential losses,” the exchange warned.

Consequently, individuals who are invested in these coin pairs might want to adjust their trading tactics in light of the upcoming Binance delistings. It’s worth noting that Binance will also discontinue spot trading bot services for these pairs concurrently. Binance recommends traders either cancel or modify their automated trades to prevent potential financial losses.

Following the recent removal of these tokens (GFT, IRIS, KEY, OAX, and REN) from some platforms, their prices have dramatically dropped. This decline might be due to investors becoming apprehensive about the future potential of these tokens once they are delisted, which could potentially trigger more selling.

It’s not unexpected that this event transpired. In the past, when tokens are removed from major trading platforms, it often leads to a widespread selling spree.

Similarly, just like a listing in a fund, token listings function as positive indicators. This was evidently demonstrated when Binance added SLERF and SCRT to their platform, causing a significant surge in the value of these tokens during a period of market excitement.

Just like with Akash Network (AKT), a surge of 30% was observed following the announcement of its listing on Binance. However, the recent events demonstrate how the removal of a coin from an exchange can also significantly affect its worth or value in the market.
